Random Acts of Kindness

We were discussing the ongoing arrangements for the funeral of my late wife. Then a dear lady, a total stranger whom I now only know as Mary, said to my daughter: "I am really sorry to hear about your mother" and presented us with a nice bunch of flowers.

I thought that this was very special.

On Monday, November  5 after a weekend celebrating my 80th birthday with family in Cronulla, I checked out of my hotel to catch 9.30am train to domestic airport heading home to Tweed Heads.

I must have dropped my wallet with cash, credit card, drivers licence at the station as I tapped on the Opal card.

I was nearing Rockdale when I realised it was missing.

Feeling very distressed I got off at Rockdale and told the amazingly helpful station manager, who then phoned Cronulla station manager. 

He found it all intact and luckily I had enough time to return to Cronulla to collect it. He said he found it on a windowsill outside his office.

He too was so comforting to me and aided me to a taxi as I was still too shaken to attempt two more trains to the airport.

I really want to thank these two managers for their kindness and honesty and I hope the angel who picked up my wallet and left it untouched to put on the windowsill will read this, our world is still full of wonderful people. Thank you.

Thank you Jeff for being there when I put petrol in my car at Rockdale without realising I had left my wallet at home. You’re a champion bloke! The money is on it’s way back to you along with a small gift.
